The Exile didnt hold to the Jedi path either, Obsidian decided not to close the stories off (which is the GREATEST INDICATION that a KotOR3 on its way). Even in part 1 when Bastila declared her love and they kissed I was like 'ok, who really didnt see that comeing', it was all predictable! Obsidians way was much more subtle and there for much better pay off.

Obsidian did quite possibly the best love interest story Ive ever seen to date in cRPG to be honest.

Mira tracking you on Malacor V even after spurning your advances at the risk of her own life even was symbolic of the loyalty and feelings she had for the Exile.Ĭome on folks, you DONT need the kissing and such when you have all that in play. Handmaiden going crazy and kidnapping Kreia, killing her sisters, fighting Atris, and finally opening up to you and telling you her name all because she thought you were killed by Kreia and Atris (atris indirectly) left no doubt what so ever on her true feelings for you.

The (as called force sex) between Visas and Exile at the start of the final chapters was one of the most well done and sensual moments Ive ever seen in a RPG game to be honest and the effect and meaning was obvious for all but the slowest of people. Obsidian did it in a far more mature and intense manner. Obsidian was much more subtle then Bioware (who basically just slapped you upside the head with the love story so none could miss it). Seriously folks, you DONT need to see them kiss or screw on screen to get the point across. So what they didnt kiss or bump ugly, the underlaying tension and eventual release of those tensions were much more pure romance and MATURE in nature then anything Bastila had to offer up to Revan in KotOR1.Įven the dialog with Mira was semi joking but laced with underlaying tension (expanded on when you read Miras thoughts) and left with a 'possible' future connection type of feeling. The interplay between the Exile and Handmaiden or Exile and Visas was MUCH MORE intimate then anything offered in KotOR1.
